Re 06 Navy, Gortz & Walter's book, page 26, indicats that this four digit "b" suffix pistol would be truly a "second issue" with the original safe position downwards. The then highest number seen wwas 998b. This sample, if original, would obviously be higher. My 06 Navy is 544a and is altered, as expected, but has no proofs except for the crown on the breechblock. I don't believe it is known how many 06 Navies were made in the "b" block. Of course, news is always welcome!
